Do You Notice Anything Different About This Firewood Processor?

[@keithbeynon3878]

Employee of the month again, you are truly a valued employee.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I have an impressive streak indeed Keith!

[@jasone679]

I hope to see your cinematographer be honored with the employee of the month award soon.

[@ohiowoodburner]

She has to step her game up to unseat me!

[@davidedwards3734]

Wow!!! Employee of the month Again!! You won out again over Emily and Mrs. Joe!!! Keep working Hard!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@dleland71]

Thanks, Joe. This is what I like to watch! Makin' firewood!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Glad you liked it buddy!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Joe you have an awesome landlord. Willing to come over and help you move logs.. 😁👍

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Joe - its Big Rodders in Ireland. Does it not get boring being awarded Employee of the Month every month? You'll be devastated the month Emily or Mrs Joe (otherwise known as the Boss) gets it!

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha... I could never get tired of EOTM! It is one of the highest honours!

[@foreverbrownsfan]

Your tractor skills have come a long way. Just seems like yesterday you took delivery. Transporting and dumping those bladders was cool to watch, Joe.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I am a decent operator. I try to be smooth to make things easier on the tractor

[@richardbrowne1679]

Good Morning Joe: We are having our first real snow of the season out here in Montana. Enjoy that warm weather while you have it.

[@ohiowoodburner]

keep that snow up there Rich!

[@FeatherHorseforge]

Joe I think you need to invest in a stick rake for the yard and a cyclone for the saw dust🙂

[@ohiowoodburner]

Once the snow covers it all will be good!

[@ronbrooks6681]

Yes Joe, that is quite the Machine. It's the same way up here in New York Weather Wise. Seventies till Sunday then going down. I am going to take Advantage of this Weather and Cut as much up as possible. Your Woodyard is Super and your Logs Excellent. I did see the Frost on your Truck Video the other day. Stay Safe MY Friend in your Woodyard. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Ron. Need a good scraper for the season LOL

[@eddeetz493]

One day you have plenty of room for a hopper loader of the saw dust and piece pile. Is there a mobile pellet mill system that leaves bulk totes or bags on wrapped pallets to recycle. Pellets offer more flexibility especially to sell for bbq smokers. Poll your resturants and partner with local bbq dealers. Do a free bag with purchase using your online order system. Easy to repeat purchase.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I think those mills are usually three phase. I don't have electricity where I am but one day that could happen

[@jvallieres1979]

Congratulations 🎉on Employee of the Month. Next month my vote is for the Japa405. What are you going to do with all the sawdust and wood debris?

[@Gus1966-c9o]

Joe , you’ve got some skills handling those totes ! Awesome job 👏

[@toddpacheco4748]

Joe excellent work and video and may things keep going smoothly for you and the wood yard 😊❤👍

[@haroldanderson2781]

That knife system on the japa looks about the same idea as the Supersplit. I call it slitting the wood instead of splitting it.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Interesting, the knives are prob the same thickness as the ss

[@justinpolen2855]

Curious why 4/6 way instead of always using the box wedge? Which makes better wood?

[@peterh9927]

Hi Joe. The 4way makes nice firewood with those small logs. This is the busy season. Lots of deliveries and processing inventory for next year. Enjoy the nice weather !!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Pete!! 👍

[@vincedee6607]

Congrats Joe, looks like things are going well at OWB. Great customer service will get you there every time.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Vinny!! I just keep at it and keep delivering!

[@JohnnyElliott-g8f]

Man I wish I wasn't so far away from Ohio I'd love to be able to come out one day and watch you split up some wood I really enjoy watching. But unfortunately I live a long ways away Florida, Alabama line.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Several firewood sellers in my area are our of dry wood for tge season already. I'm sitting on 20 cords of ash logs. Time to ger cutting and splitting!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Nows the season! Thanks for watching

[@tmacs311]

Thanks for video joe . That japa splitter is a pretty slick machine . I have looked at a lot of different splitters but this one seems to be a really good productive splitter . I like how it cuts and splitters. Probably would be the one I would buy if I was in the the firewood business . Happy cuttin

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for watching!

[@highercalibertreeservice1995]

Good video as always. Like you I am always trying to figure out ways to be more productive or efficient. With your sawdust and scrap collection I cut the cage down along with the tank and then zip tied the tank to the cage that way the tank is still holding your waste but now is much stronger and easier to work with with a set of forks. Maybe this will help you.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I had thought of that but I don't have much prob forking under the bladders. If that becomes I prob i will prob use the cages

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

Can't never hav nuff logs Joe!! Wood's gonna fly outa the yard this year!!!!! Keep stackin!

[@ohiowoodburner]

that seems to be the case this year! Thanks Greg

[@knottwworking]

Good morning, nice time of year! Busy but wouldn't have it any other way. Terry

[@ohiowoodburner]

You got that right! This is why I put in all that time in the spring and summer!

[@Wild_Bill57]

I’m not crazy about the perfect splitter, but I do appreciate the consistency of product. Really like it when you’ve got the 6 or 8-way splitting larger logs. Guess I really enjoy the volume of product that flows out of the machine when that’s the setup.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Give that I have both types of knives to run i chose the PS simply bc it saves me strain and effort. There is no thinking or adjusting the knife. For me that is a big help

[@robertlivingstone3947]

Joe you do good work the yard is looking good good video

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Bob!

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great job on saving the skinny logs to do at once. Jesse needs to get on the ball! Lol

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha. I am glad I sat these aside. They have been waiting for a while for me to get on them

[@kennethbabcock4627]

In Arkansas we say wait 5 minutes for the weather to change

[@ohiowoodburner]

Buckeyes need an extra 10 minutes to make up their minds!

[@billobermeyer660]

Not sure of the difference about the processor, but the operator had nice shoes😂😂 Have a great weekend Joe!!

[@ohiowoodburner]

har har!!!

[@plessis2023]

Is the yard at your house low of finished product ,too?

[@ohiowoodburner]

It is about half full. Still have a ways to go there

[@ralphkanagy4602]

Good. Job. Nice video God bless

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Ralph

[@stevensfirewood8658]

I got the Metsa shirt in, Thank you! Although I have a feeling the wife is probably going to commandeer it.

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha. Thanks for supporting the channel and for being patient for me to mail it out. Glad you like it buddy

[@billyhill101]

World class Machine for a world class operator👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Mr Hill. It is a joy to run this machine!

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Morning joe looking at the japa and brute force processor

[@ohiowoodburner]

Depends on the type of wood you want to make but I have found the Japa's to be more affordable but the BF's entry level model takes a larger log

[@LeBlancfirewood]

​@@ohiowoodburneryes that's what I was thinking 18 inch would would be nice the 405 is what I really need. Big price difference to the 365

[@JCWren]

Seems like it would be pretty easy to add a sensor while you're cutting the log that measures the diameter, and then adjusts the splitter height automatically. If Bob wants to drop off a 405 with me, I'll be happy to beta test the feature.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I believe that technology exists on the Palax machine which is a sister company to Japa.

[@wadeking]

Good morning my favorite Joe!!!::))

[@ohiowoodburner]

Good morning Wade!

[@gregorymacneil2836]

The skinny pieces - my log provider is also a firewood processor - my smaller processor set up is perfect for skinny logs whereas his larger machine is not - so he just separates them for me and ships them over. Skinny logs are great because you only have to split them once and they are ready for burning!

[@ohiowoodburner]

These are pretty dry too. Won't be long waiting for these to season

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Joe, It is interesting that you mention the dryness - because my log supplier takes half the season to assemble a full truck load they are almost ready to burn after splitting. They are not productive with a large commercial processor but with my smaller Hakki they are perfect. @@ohiowoodburner

[@heymakerphd1982]

Like the title says, I was trying to see a difference. The big thing that I couldn't miss is that dang door you gotta open to straighten the cutoffs before the splitter. I think you opened and straightened 6 times on that one log! How is it that several million owners of other wood processors are able to survive and continue processing, without a safety door? Apologies to Yapa, but if it were mine, I'd do some hot wrench renovations on that thing!! On the other hand, I sure like that log hold down!

[@Riverguide33]

Joe…you have really buzzed through that pile of logs! 👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

Still some more to go but I am making progress for sure

[@cah_sawmill]

you did a good job, have a nice day my friend

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks, you too!

[@garykersteiner4936]

Joe, congratulations on being voted employee of the month yet again. What a streak. Just make sure that the next high school stacker that you hire is not a buxom young lady in a halter top and short shorts. Your streak will be out the window.

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Good Morning Joe, The Japa is getting it done, enjoy your Dr Pepper when Finished 😂🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha!! I always do!

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Great video

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Larry!

[@geezerindawoods]

No frost here! You may have it all. Well Dun!!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks geezer. I will be certain to send some frost your way!

[@brandonhoad9033]

Ha, we got ya beat. In NY it's wait 5 mins.

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha. Strange weather for sure

[@thecraportheoreos7834]

Hey 👋 Joe

[@ohiowoodburner]

Hey there!

[@brianellis4964]

It is time you extended the log launcher to save you having to cut the logs shorter. Will save you time and deisel.

[@ohiowoodburner]

That day may come. It would be super cool to have a wider table for sure Brian

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

Have you ever told us what your past cubicle job was Joe?

[@ohiowoodburner]

Risk management, loss prevention, audit, compliance, boring stuff

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

@@ohiowoodburner ohhhh boy lol

[@elainereid5833]

Easy peasy with the Japa 405, but yeah, I think you do get spoiled by the perfect split. (You don’t have to open the cage as much). Elaine from Canada here, very nice that you keep track of your customer’s needs, whether big diameter splits or small, you take care of ‘em all. It’s 0° F overnight here, I think I’ll stay in and watch you work in the warm sun And look how close you’re getting to 40K ! Great video and videography Joe, cheers.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Elaine! Keep that cold weather up there I'm not ready for it just now!
